Its been more then spitting up almost like vomiting up (even an hour or two after her feeding) we are switching her from enfamil lactosefree to enfamil prosobee started her on it slowly today..did this work for you?? Or did enfamil A R work for you? And if you had to switch - which one out of the two worked for you?? And does it usually take 2 weeks before you can tell a difference once you change formulas???
My dd is 2 months.

We tried all of the formulas with my daughter (including the ones you've mentioned) She has an intolerance to cows milk/proteins and she is on Nestle Alsoy. After 5 days we noticed a difference and after 2 1/2 months she is no longer vomitting and is noticeably happier :)

We went through this with my son. He would basically just throw up. He had reflux really bad so that contributed. But we finally figured out that the milk-based we were using was upsetting him. Late one night after he was screaming and threw up all his formula, we opened a sample can of Prosobee we got from the Dr. It was the answer for us. He still had the reflux and spit up but it cut way back on the vomiting episodes and fussiness.
Good luck!

My first son had to be on Similac Soy formula, but that was 6 years ago and my one year old had to be on Enfamil Prosobee with Lipil. He would throw up on regular Enfamil!!!! It only took him a few days to adjust and it worked great!!! Good luck!!!

I suggest talking to the pediatrician about your daughter's vomiting. It sounds like Projectile Vomiting which is a sign for reflux. Having said that, I just want to warn you that meds like Zantac will only relieve the symptoms; but not truly help the condition. You'd be better off with a med like Reglan. It's Rx only and improves the condition. It's not odd to get both Reglan and Zantac perscribed together.
I would definitely suggest the Soy based milk too. It's gentler on the stomach overall. GOOD LUCK! I hope you find answers for your daughter soon.

Try the Nestle Good Start Brand. If you sign up for verybestbaby.com, they might give you 3 or $11.00 off coupons. I also found this formula to be better then the Enfimal Prosobee. You might want to talk to your doctor first, but I have done a lot of research on the Nestle Good Start and have heard a lot of good things about them. Every baby is different.

My children all had feeding issues. I swore by the Emfamil Nutramigen, they stuff smells and is expensive but it works ( works in about 24-48 hours). I slowly weened them off of that around 5-6 months and used lactose free or soy formula.

I had to put my son on a soy based formula because he couldn't handle the milk based ones. He had very bad "spit up" and a terrible diarrhea with the milk based formulas. I seen a difference immediately with him. Within a couple of diaper changes, he had stopped the "messes" and within a couple of feedings you could tell his tummy was much "happier" Wish you the best of luck!!

AR worked really well for me. It only took a couple days to really see a difference. Using a different bottle may help, the Gerber brand bottles worked really well, and the Playtex disposables may help too. The DR Brown bottles don't seem to do much, but you could try them. Good luck!

All my children were still breastfeeding at this age. I would advise talking to your pediatrician about what the next step should be. She may have GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disorder) and this could require medication. Your doctor can also write prescriptions for specific formulas that can be covered by insurance. Check with your doctor!

I am not that familiar with the current formula's...but just so you know, there are several little boys hormones that are getting messed up because young mothers unknowingly put them on soy formula (high in estrogen)...but aside from that...because my daughter had 0 success on formula with her son...she raised him on goats milk (closest to mothers milk)...I can't remember if she put a tiny bit of carol syrup in it though...but he thrived and became a very happy healthy baby....good luck to you!
